How your lawyer will help
There are many, many legal steps to transferring ownership of land from one person to another. Even if pitfalls like fraud, government legislation, zoning issues or unpaid taxes don't come up, your lawyer will more than earn their pay by making the legal transfer of the home a smooth one.
Don't be scared of your lawyer
He or she is here to help you. Ask questions if you don't understand anything. Explaining legal jargon in plain language is a big part of their job.
